Need advice please

Ok, so after having the car for 5 months and taking good care of her... only taking her out at nights.. .always parking her in the garage.. etc, I left her outside for 2 weeks under the shaded trees on my property, while I was remodeling the garage. So over weekend I washed her and noticed a few things that really bothered me.

A) 2 small chips in the paint on the hood, so I guess there goes the idea of getting a clear bra.
B) a small spot where tree sap had baked on the paint of the trunk.
C) hard water stains from my well water had developed on hood. I assume sprinkler system hit the hood during day when i was at work. It's like there are chalky white spots where the water drops were.

Can you guys recommend how to get the water stains off and get the tree sap off without harming the paint? And do you guys think it's still worth it to get the clear bra even with 2 small chips?

Thanks
